Young Nigerian Writers On The Booksphere.

Howdy folks!! Hows your weekend progressing? We take a look at how Nigerian young writers are making waves at home and abroad.
Numerous publication houses in Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and a few currently, proudly featured a lot of young Nigerian writers on their walls.

Macmillan Publication has been one of the pionering publishing company pre-independence Nigeria. Tara Press, Jim Okoye publication, Apex publication are other few that comes to mind.

Several young talents seam to boycot home grown, and climber unto many digital self publishing companies online. The advent of internet marketing lend a short arm to users of stylo and pot online.

  According to Nigerian writer, critic, and editor, Adewale Maja-Pearce, many Nigerian publishing houses lack the tools and infrastructure, also markering machinery that lend hands to attractive, writers reward models.

Many of the publication houses are run by private companies with little wherewithall, guiding regulations, and protection control that help safe guide writers from piracy and thefts.

It is hardly surprising that ‘most Nigerian writers clamour for publishers abroad’ according to AMP. The Channels Tv recently established arts and book reviewing on the air wave, a marketing tool that now enable writers get extra funnels, patronage, and sales milage in Nigeria.

Reading habit and repute for books is a challenge in Africa, most media house equally dump book reviewing culture, (except Tribune & Sketch, also The Nation) in their national papers unlike its done abroad, such excercise ain't a common place in Nigeria.

Nigerian talented writers, now take time off, to put pen to paper, telling it all in story books, about their hallucinating (transitive) experiences growing up in a more or less technically recessioned economy.

One of the young unassuming star writer Charlse Dairo, who called a bluff of the labour market, soon after graduation left the labour queue to follow his dream.
Today, Charlse is the CEO of his own web and digital marketing publication company; employing more than twelve other younger version of himslef.

Chibundu

Chimamanda.

Chibundu Onuzu, while a student at the premier University, King's College London got a knock at writing stardom with her novel "The Spider King's Daughter" through Faber publication Uk.

Chibundu, started writing at the early age of ten, she never looked back a second till she migrated to the Uk. Described by her agent at Faber publication as a “very talented writer at the beginning of an exciting writing career.” Onuzo today is one of Nigeria's latest new generation of talented young writers, who have made their mark in the literary world in the past fifteen odd years.


Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the 2007 speial award winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction for her book, “Half of A Yellow Sun;” and Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani, including other novels such as “I Do Not Come To You By Chance,” novels which has also earn her several awards, including the Commonwealth Writers Prize.

Helon Habila, Helen Opeyemi, Sefi Atta, Amina Mohammad, Lean Abbati are other successful young Nigerian writers on the block who are making waves and livelihoods from writing.


   

Nigeria has repository of rich literary tradition spanning the last 70 years pre and post independence, producing icons for Nobel Prize for Literature e.g one Man Booker Prize winner, one Man Booker International Prize, one Orange Prize winner, and three winners of the Caine Prize for African Writing, famously described as “African Booker.”
including much in diaspora.

Publishers and writers say there are quite literally explosion of young Nigerian writers about to etch even more international recognition bench of award.

The ship crew of these cream of writers is the one attention grabbing opportunity spotted by Jeremy Weate, a British man who set up Cassava Republic publishing company in Abuja in 2007, married to a Nigerian wife Bibi Bakare-Yusuf, according to the couple , “This is a very exciting time and the best of Nigerian writing is still ahead.

According to Bibi “There is some awareness overseas of Nigerian authors and an increasing number of Nigerians winning awards, but we believe this is just the beginning, whichever way you view it home is still the best.

There is still a huge amount of talented undiscovered up-and-coming Nigeria writers and movie script curators out there . Most are struggling unknown in our various hoods, lets work together to unmasked them for stardom.

Yes! The Man Died.

Truly The Man Died!!

The sting of death stong yet another literary icon in Nigeria, a poet, novelist and writer extraordinaire, community leader of courage, inspiration and organic mine reservatory of inexhaustible vocabulary. Another thing that fell apart, which his vast community of people can never ever put together!

Pa Gabriel Imomotimi Okara, OON, is no more, like the rain his luminating spirit of the writers wall fell with the flood and returneth no more. He died just four weeks to his 98th birthday. How he raised ahead of nature's discerning poetic gift to the readers world.

Pa Okara was a father figure, leader, mentor, instructor, and ol chum. One of our best in the literary world. A forerunner and a pioneer in many aspects, he ventured into a very uniquely scriber's world that can only be described as indigenous literature.

An iconic genre of poetry, novel, literary works Africans, and Nigerians can truly identify with as indigenously traditional African art. This stood him out of the crowd of intellectual giant writers.

Described by some writers as “the first modernist poet of Anglophone Africa”, our beloved Pa Okara belonged to the very best amongst peers of poetic writer spilling from his inner repository of knowledge effortlessly.

He was among the first to launch Nigeria into the international literary arena with brands of poetry and stories that were unmistakably indigenous but very outstanding.

Pa Okara was born on April 21, 1921, to an entrepreneurial Ijaw chief, Samson Okara and Martha Olodiama, in Bumoundi, Bayelsa state.
As a young Okara, he attended Government College Umuahia, Abia state, and moved to Yaba Higher College. After high school, he started working as a printer and bookbinder for a publishing company in Lagos 1945.

During World War II, he tried to join the British Royal Air Force but failed the medicals. He later worked for the British Overseas Airway Corporation, which changed to British Airways.

In 1949, he studied journalism at Northwestern University, USA. The late Pa Okara, had a few flings with marriages, and divorced three times, his survived by four resourcesful children.

May his soul find heavenly rest.

Stars On Sunrise tv...

Talents on Tv Show on the rise!!

Hey! Folks, you can't light your candle, and keep it under the table.

Lets re-visit talent development once again. How do you define talent in the ordinary sense. Talents may be artistic or technical, mental or physical, personal or social.

You may be a talented introvert or a talented extrovert. Your talents need not be profitable, useful, or conventional, but they will always be your own, a part of what makes you uniquely special.

Learning to look for your talents in the right places and building those talents into skills and abilities might take some work, but going about it creatively will let you explore your natural abilities and lead to something some how commercially or satisfactorily rewarding.

Thousands of talents remained burried in graveyards across Nigeria. Many more remain masked in communities far and wide. Several struggling to see the cloud, let alone the bluesky of stardom.
